In the northern part of the battlefield, the stalemate between the Yiwu battalion of the Ming army and the superintendent battalion of the Qing army continued. One side is the mandarin duck array, and the other side is the sword and shield assisted by the extra-long spear, and no one on either side can help the other for a while, and the casualty rate of both sides in the frontal hand-to-hand combat is far lower than the previous battles of these two forces.

However, the soldiers of the Yiwu battalion are only half of the battalion in front of the standard, and they are only relying on the characteristics of the Mandarin Duck Formation to both attack and defensive. However, as the Supervising Battalion continued to extend its formation, trying to surround the Yiwu Battalion and gather annihilation, the huge difference in troops, especially the number of hand-to-hand combat troops, led to the balance of victory gradually tilting towards the Supervising Battalion.

At this moment, the Yiwu battalion is still struggling to insist, and Wu Dengke, as the commander of the Yiwu battalion, has already set up the flag behind the battle formation and personally commanded the battle. Behind him was a squad of overseers who were ordered to be executed for desertion if any soldier who dared to step back beyond the front line of the banner, including Wu Dengke himself......

There is a huge disparity in troops, and the Governor Battalion itself is also the elite of the Zhejiang Green Battalion, and it has rich combat experience. It was only a matter of time before the Ming army on the right flank was completely crushed. At this time, the Nantang battalion on the left flank of the Ming army had also withstood the first round of artillery bombardment by the Qing army.

At a distance of 100 meters, the light tiger squat cannons and general cannons used by the Qing army have stopped shooting, and even the Franc machine gun was only reequipped with a sub-gun and was suppressed by the Ming army's bird gunners and archers, and it was no longer possible to shoot.

Compared with the Qing army, the vertical formation used by the Nantang battalion effectively reduced the probability of being hit by artillery shells, and even the scattered shells fired by the tiger squat cannon could not cause a large number of casualties like Li Rong's time due to the limitation of range. However, the number of artillery pieces of the Qing army was really quite large, but all the Ming soldiers who were hit by the shells were either seriously injured or killed on the spot.

The front row was seriously damaged, and An Youfu's Fourth Infantry Team immediately stepped up and replaced the Mandarin Duck Array Killer Team in front of which the entire army was reimbursed by a shell.

More than 50 percent were killed in battle. This squad at the front has completely lost its combat capability. An Youfu led his subordinates around that pool of blood, and even a veteran like him who had experienced many battles couldn't help but turn pale, and the others were naturally no better.

The Fourth Infantry Brigade was almost entirely composed of veterans, so even in the face of such a bloody scene, it could continue to carry out military orders, but the new firefighter was so frightened by this scene that he froze in place, and no matter how the boring palladium hand stone bull in the team pulled, he did not have the slightest intention of moving forward with the team.

See it here. An Youfu hurriedly rushed forward, kicked him and staggered, and then grabbed the fireman's neck and shouted in a low voice.

"On the battlefield, disobeying military orders is a capital crime, and being killed by the Warlords will not give any compensation. Think about your wife, she still expects you to win the battle and get a reward to marry a wife and have children! ”

Hearing An Youfu mention the old lady in his family, the firefighter quickly regained his senses. His father died early, and it was all up to his widowed mother to pull him up with a handful of and urine. His greatest wish was that he would be able to marry a wife and have children, and leave offspring, so that he could comfort his father's spirit in heaven. However, his family was poor and unable to marry a wife, so he came to join the army without telling his mother, and if he died in the hands of the overseer at this moment, his mother would not have any hope of living.

hurriedly saluted An Youfu, and then ran to the mandarin duck formation of the team that was already in place in three steps and two steps. When An Youfu followed closely and returned to the queue, Luo Yongzhong, who was the first captain of the Mandarin Duck Array Killer Team, and Feng Biao, the captain of the firearms team, immediately signaled to him. It means that the whole team has completed the formation and is ready to attack at any time.

That's when it happened. The war drums behind the battle were beaten, and the wailing was drowned out by the shouts of the word "tiger". The killer team of the Mandarin Duck Array of the Xinnantang Battalion continued to march towards the large formation of the Sifu Green Battalion with firm steps, while the firearms team took advantage of the gap between the columns to shoot at the Qing army while advancing.

Although there were many veterans in the first game who had not participated in the battle behind the Siming Mountain Palace, in the long-term training of Tiantai Mountain, the truth that when facing the artillery, they should rush up and kill the gunner as soon as possible to remove the threat had melted into the blood through continuous explanations.

However, the training time of recruits is too short, and many things have not been implemented. Just being able to obey battlefield discipline already made Chen Wen and his officers rejoice. As for the rest, I can't help but think too much.

The gunners of the Qing army had been withdrawn to the rear of the formation, but the black muzzles of those artillery were still facing the Ming line. Except for the first game, almost all of the Nantang battalion were recruits, and they were afraid, even if there was an officer's supervision behind them, they quickly opened up a gap with the first game composed of veterans.

A hundred meters is not far. But for those recruits, it was as if they had walked for a thousand years, but even so, they arrived a little later than the Qing army about thirty meters after the first game.

The military formation was already in place, and according to Chen Wen's previous order, Lou Jiye gave an order, and the gunners and loaders who had barely kept up with the team rushed into the gap of the Mandarin Duck Array under the cover of the big shield player, and aimed the artillery that had already been loaded at the large array of the Qing army.

The distance is only thirty meters, and even in some places it is less than this number, although the battle formation of the Qing army maintains a certain distance between each soldier to wield weapons, but in the face of this distance, not only the artillery in the hands of the Ming army that fires shells can almost do 100 shots, even those light tiger squat cannons have entered the most threatening range.

As the general flag of the Nantang Battalion commanding General Lou Jiye pressed forward, the officer in charge of the artillery team shouted: "Open the cannon!" ”

After being bombarded by artillery, thrown by bows and arrows, and fired by firearms, with a strong will, the Ming army finally got a distance that the artillery could bombard the Qing army into scum even with their eyes closed. At this moment, the order had been given, and the gunners hurriedly pressed the torches against the fire door.

The sound of a clatter reached the ears, and the fuse shortened its length at a rapid speed, drawing the frightened soul into the fire gate. The gunpowder of one artillery gun after another was ignited by the fuse, and the various artillery pieces of the Ming army let out a series of roars, and with the eruption of firelight, the smoke of gunpowder completely enveloped the battlefield.

A moment later, when the front Pai Ming army had not yet recovered from the deafening sound of artillery, the Qing army behind the gunpowder smoke had already fallen into a wail.

After the battle, Ma Jinbao watched all this dumbfounded. Previously, he and Ma Xin were afraid of the semi-finished Spanish phalanx of Xinchang Boyu Guowang. So he chose to fire at a distance of about 100 meters, and smashed the Taizhou Ming army with one round of shooting. I thought that this time could be concocted in the same way, but who knew that Chen Wen on the other side actually thought of it with him and came up with exactly the same tactics.

Hoping that the Qing army would have the advantage in the number of artillery, he thought that he could intimidate the recruits in Chen Wen's army, but he didn't know it. After the palace of Siming Mountain, during the war, the old Nantang battalion once faced the artillery fire of the Qing army and launched the final charge. Although there are many recruits at present, these Ming army recruits still survived in the continuous brainwashing and anti-pressure training in the vertical formation, as well as the feelings that originated from the same township and clan.

As the Ming army advanced step by step, the gunners were completely suppressed by the Ming army's bird-gunners, and then retreated to the rear of the formation. But who knew that the Ming army actually stopped at a distance of about 30 meters and chose to return fire with artillery here.

If there is a second attempt, Ma Jinbao will definitely let the artillery withstand the pressure and keep bombarding the Ming army, but the matter has come to this point, facing the artillery that the Ming army has already loaded. Even if the gunners of the Qing army went back to reload, it was too late.

After two months, it was his turn to withstand the closer artillery fire of the Ming army, and the Qing army only took a moment to empty the first few rows of the Qing army at the moment when the cannon sounded, even if these Qing troops had begun to retreat involuntarily after discovering the intentions of the Ming army, they could not change the fate of being bombarded.

The cannonballs carved out one flesh alley after another among the Qing troops, and the scattered bullets fired by the tiger squat cannon directly beat the Qing troops in the front row into a sieve, and blood flowed out from the stumps, broken arms and tattered corpses, until the soil was completely absorbed, and then converged into streams to more low-lying areas.

Pained wails filled the room. The green battalion soldiers of these four prefectures originally belonged to a general soldier and three deputy generals, and they had always only temporarily obeyed the dispatch of Jinhua's chief soldier Ma Jinbao. At present, such a large number of casualties were paid in just an instant, and the cohesion formed by the goods and military orders was immediately shattered.

There were constantly Qing soldiers crying and fleeing backwards, and they were immediately killed by the soldiers and family members who supervised the war, but more Qing soldiers began to be unable to contain the fear in their hearts as their companions decreased, and their feet involuntarily retreated backwards.

At this time, the Ming army did not choose to continue the shelling. Instead, he let a team of mandarin duck killers rush out of the smoke of gunpowder and form a small three-talent formation to rush towards the Qing army.

Ma Jinbao pinned his hopes on the thin spear array and the sword and shield soldiers that cooperated with the Mandarin Duck Formation, which had been shattered by the Ming artillery that was shooting at close range, and it was difficult to form an effective defense. When the Ming army was approaching, the battlefield instantly showed a one-sided trend.

Relying on the long card in his hand to shake away the lonely spear on the opposite side, Luo Yongzhong immediately pounced. The waist knife was wielded, not only the spearman who was already old, but even the Qing saber and shield soldiers who provided protection for him were powerless under the suppression of the wolf and spear that followed.

washed away the shame brought by the defeat of Siming Lake to his ancestors, his family and himself, and successfully joined the Nantang Battalion with the proof of An Youfu and Shi Daniu, and became a glorious Nantang Battalion soldier. With a long period of hard training and heroic performance in many battles, this former warrior and rout of the Dalanshan Ming Army quickly stood out from the veterans and became the captain of the 4th Infantry Brigade.

"Kill!"

Cutting off the spear of the Qing army's spearman, Luo Yongzhong kicked the Qing army sword and shield soldier who had been suppressed by the wolf to the ground as soon as he lifted his foot, and then the knife looked at the top of his head, and cut a striking gap along with the helmet of the Qing army. The red and white splattered out, and Luo Yongzhong didn't even look at it, so he directly raised his knife and slashed at the spearman......

The Mandarin Duck Formation was originally an advancing battle formation, and at this moment, the layout of the Qing Army's formation to curb the advance of the Mandarin Duck Formation had been dilapidated, and the Nantang Battalion's Mandarin Duck Array Killer Team was like a hot knife cutting butter, and the already broken formation of the Qing Army was completely shattered.

The close-range shot came from Chen Wencong's use of Li Rong in the battle behind the Siming Mountain Palace, but when he found out that Ma Jinbao had also come up with the same tactic, he suddenly remembered the specific situation when Yu Guowang was defeated by the Qing army in Linhai County, and Chen Wen quickly remembered a scene he had seen in the movie.

In the era of queue shooting, two lines of infantry lined up to shoot, one stopped to shoot after reaching a certain distance, while the other line infantry faced the opponent's artillery fire and bullets, and took advantage of the opponent's reloading gap to get straight to a closer distance before shooting, achieving the advantage of exchange ratio, and then defeated the opponent with the bayonets of cavalry and infantry.

Chen Wen can't remember the name of the movie, but he thinks that he can use it flexibly. When the Ming army withstood the artillery fire of the Qing army and approached a distance that could give full play to the power of the light tiger squat cannon, it was difficult for the thin spear formation of the Qing army to form an effective resistance to the Ming army's mandarin duck formation after the shelling.

As for the hand-to-hand combat in the future, it is the specialty of the Mandarin Duck Formation, and the Sifu Green Battalion that Ma Jinbao has worked so hard to organize is only one way to collapse.

As the attack of the Nantang battalion continued, the right flank of the Qing army's Sifu Green Battalion had completely collapsed and fled in the direction of Xiaoshun Town. While Chen Wen ordered Lou Jiye to continue the pursuit, he also threw the only remaining team of birds borrowed from Yu Guowang into the Yiwu battalion that had already pulled the Dubiao battalion apart, in order to stabilize the defense line of the Yiwu battalion.

But at this moment, the cavalry under the command of the Governor Battalion finally moved, and judging from the trajectory of smoke and dust, its target was clearly the Yiwu Battalion on the right wing of the Ming Army.

"Zhang Guoxun, do you want to exchange Ma Jinbao's local green camp of the four prefectures for my Yiwu camp? No way! ”

Pulling out the saber at his waist, after Chen Wen rushed out first, the cavalry team that had been ready to attack for a long time followed behind Chen Wen under the leadership of General Chen Guobao, and killed the cavalry of the Qing army, which was gradually approaching the Yiwu battalion.
